Drag is traditionally a gay man's game, so there's a possibility that a straight man is doing it in a fashion intended specifically to mock gay people. I'd object to that on moral grounds, but if a straight man just likes doing it without it being derogatory I think that's swell. Would about them but but first amendment rights? Funny how it only applies to hate speech for Trumpsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would have to take into consideration each teachers feelings on the matter. I think the best way to word it is “Brian wants to be called Brianna now, and he is dressing in girls clothing because that’s what he is comfortable wearing.

Ultimately it’s going to be up to each kids parents to tell them what is right and wrong. It’s better for the teacher to say “be nice to everyone no matter what”. If Jimmy goes home and tells his day that Brian is Julie and that’s ok, that parent may not feel the same way as the teacher. The teacher may not agree with what you are forcing him/her to say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they can stop teaching, I do not care about protecting their transphobia. I wouldn't support the continued employment of teachers who were pro-segregation after Brown, either. Would you?

Only because they've been forced to by assholes like you pushing your agenda on them. GOOD and responsible adults in those kids' lives should be protecting them from adult issues that involve sexual feelings and urges. Sadly, whack-jobs like you probably feel like it's OK for 13, 14 year olds to have unprotected sex because it's natural for them to get pregnant at that age. Quote “There he goes.

That’s it not hard Kids are perfectly mentally able to handle the existence of queer people in elementary school. "Some mommies love daddies, and some mommies love mommies" is not going to cause an existential crisis in a 6 year old. Science has demonstrated that a child's gender identity is pretty well crystallized by age 4, and that this is equally true of both cis and trans kids. This stuff is completely in their wheelhouse.

No they aren’t. My daughter teaches pre-k and kindergarten and her best friend who is gay and teaches 1st both say they couldn’t handle that. They can’t even keep their hands to themselves. Some still shit their pants. It doesn’t matter the parents should talk to these kids about this stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who mommy loves is NOT up to the school. What part of keep this shit in the house do you NOT understand?? My aunt, when my cousins were pretty young left my uncle for a woman - whom's she's still with today and her partner is a much loved part of the family. We dealt with it AS A FAMILY. The School had NOTHING to do with it because SCHOOLS have no business getting involved in family issues. 0 Quote “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes.

Queer people exist. Trans people exist. Discriminating against them is bad. Discouraging discrimination is good. End of debate. You can explain being gay without getting even remotely into sexual feelings. A kid who understands that mommy loves daddy is equally capable of understanding that some mommies love mommies. No, I think encouraging protection is an obvious good thing because even if I don't think 13 year olds should be having sex I understand that it's going to happen and it should happen safely when it does.
